Vicky Pattison meets Caroline, who lost her home after matching with prolific romance fraudster Raymond McDonald on a dating site. McDonald was posing as Mark Swift, a stressed-out chef with a seriously ill daughter. Within six months he had proposed, emptied Caroline’s bank account and left her with suspected PTSD. Caroline was in court when McDonald was sent to prison for defrauding her and three other women. Left to rebuild her life, she assumed he’d learnt his lesson - she’s about to find out just how wrong she was. Love Bombed: WifeHunter presented by Vicky Pattison.
